Ha! Ha! Very funny. Would you consider it equal access if you were told that
you can only access the area on a Honda CR500R? I didn't think so.

BTW, my father is a disabled veteran. He acquired his disability defending
our country and your rights in WWII. He can't walk more that 1/4 mile and
that's with no elevation change. He is effectively banned from Wilderness
Areas (as are many handicapped people because wheelchairs are also banned)
using your definition of equal access.

Do you care?

I support such preserves and will promote the creation of more of them if I
am granted motorized access to the remainder of the areas.

BTW, I am not a >biker<. I am a >motorcyclist<.
